About Us
Walk to Canter is a family run business that evolved with a lot of hard work from the original Duck End Stables riding school. We are proud to offer a true friendly, helpful and expert service. Our new store opened in October 2009 in a purpose built barn offering a relaxed traditional shopping experience with no pressure to buy and plenty of time to try.
   


Gillian

Gillian is seriously passionate about horses! She has worked with horses all of her life, working tirelessly to set up her own riding school at her family home of Duck End Stables, Stebbing. Gillian trained at Gleneagles in Scotland and then toured with the World Famous Lipizzaner Stallions. She then returned to Duck End Stables to continue building up the riding school and to work on her own passion of Dressage. Gillian is a registered BHS AI and gives lessons by appointment at her own yard, or out at other local yards. She specialises in teaching dressage because of her own passion for the sport.

Gillian is extremely proud to have opened Walk to Canter Equestrian Supplies, and she is very grateful for all of the support she has received from her parents in setting up the business at their home.



Valerie

Argueably the 'Real Boss', Valerie has worked tirelessly in helping to set up and run the family business of Walk to Canter. A true lover of all creatures (not just horses!), Valerie is responsible for the managerie of Donkeys, Goats, Chickens, Ducks, Geese, Guinea Pigs, Dogs, Cats and Miniature Ponies that you will also see scattered around at Duck End Stable
